With the help of individuals, local businesses and agencies, Miles4Kids has raised more than $11,200 in donations and hard goods for Kansas Children’s Service League, the state chapter of Prevent Child Abuse America.
About Jerry and Christina
Christina Romero – I am a Licensed Master’s Social Worker with a background in the child welfare system. Outside of work, I enjoy warm weather and any outdoor activity; especially camping and running. The reason for creating Miles4Kids was the desire to make my runs more meaningful by promoting a healthier lifestyle as well as raising money for non-profit programs which focus on at-risk children and their families. I invite you to follow our blog and learn how Jerry and I are incorporating running into our mission.
Jerry Romero – I’m a driver for FedEx and enjoy running, photography, computers, camping, fishing, chess and listening to a good podcast. Why Miles4Kids? It’s for a great cause and something that my wife and I can do together. To follow what I’m doing, read my blog or follow us on Twitter or Facebook.
